Oh, I'm sure you're not going to regret it at all. You're a man always after new information. [[Historical, granted, but it's all the same in his Braille books.]]
[Hey RGNK? See that meaty fist hurtling straight at your face? Oh wait, you can't because you're blind, and the force behind it's more than enough to completely floor you and possibly break your nose.]
Concerts are one thing, inducing someone to betray his friends and allies in such a way wherein free will becomes entirely moot is something entirely different, RGNK, something absolutely unforgivable!
Taking prisoners, the usage of spies and double agents... these are all things that are perfectly acceptable under military law. But I will never hold my tongue in the face of active mind control the level such as what you've done!
[To say Cheng was absolutely shocked was an understatement. He hadn't imagined that the situation had gotten that dire...]
Adventus has just brought the coming of more war upon Earth rather than the opposite.
[He gives Jeremy a particularly vicious look. Though he has not encountered this General before he was as wary as he could be.]
Zeon won't just be satisfied with taking back their regent and defeating your army... they'll want blood for every loss they felt from both the Titans and the One Year War.
[He's a soldier. He knows the mindset. With the motivations stated behind them they won't stop unless they're crushed into the dirt and at most can only be delayed.]
If you Adventus is bound to merely that one goal then the world will be decimated even further. Even if Giant Robots as you call them are abolished, what is to prevent mankind from creating new weapons to fill in the gap....
[Cheng's distaste at being in the presence of someone who he believes had authorized or played a part in the messing of his grey matter lessens... albeit in a miniscule amount.]
I know little of history outside that of what Gucun has allowed in... or re-written... but I know those situations. I have seen them and been in them myself.
Then I shall spare you lengthy explanations of the domino effect that may yet be realized.
Still!
I did not join Adventus for anyone's sake save my own. I am a historian by trade, not a pilot nor general, and though nobody can never truly know the future, patterns from the past can nevertheless be picked up on! One of humanity's greatest strengths is pattern recognition, after all.
So the question now becomes, what will you do in the face of this?
There's enough historical evidence to show that if people are deprived of something, they merely move on to the next best thing and it's business as usual. If you ban guns, knives will become more commonplace. If you ban the sale of alcohol, the mobs will take to bootlegging!
Nevertheless, as a historian this is an opportunity of a lifetime to record Adventus's exploits, for when all is said and done there is nothing from this which which should be striken from the historybooks!
[Eri watched the video with a sort of wtf expression on her face. And she sighed.] Rallying that many people behind him is going to cost us in the long run.
As it stands, it might even cause problems with the PreDestiny Operations.
Considering the scale of damage wrought by the One Year War, that is an accurate assessment.
All the same, the question to concern yourself with is what will be done in the intervening time? Wars have been averted in the span of minutes, after all!
If anyone was sane on that ship, we'd need to get Char to stop being such a dumbass and try to wind the Zeon guys DOWN a little. But that's not going to work.
Someone needed to stop him before he actually did it in the first place.
And yet what is done is done. Though this is all the more reason for me to see to it I survive when all of this ends! Still, there is but one task I have left in Adventus.

And needless to say I am most disappointed in hearing about your hand in the capture of these pilots, let alone what you've done to one of them!

[[LowKey]] You'd best talk to Lucas 'bout dat shit.
[[RGNK]] Granted, I assume you're talking about flipping the switch on the mole, am I right? And you already know about the concerts so...

Adventus's charter says nothing about ending war, merely the abolition of using giant robots.
[... But then his expression grows more serious.]
But you are right. Situations like this have happened time and again throughout history and as a man concerned with the past I can see that.

Whoever wins, I hope it's over fast. I don't think the Earth could survive another long Federation/Zeon war.

One year.... being considered "long". How technology's advanced to make that happen...
Either way, the Federation also has to worry about its conflict with ZAFT as well.
Nevertheless! The surest and quickest way to end a war is to see to it that it never starts in the first place! Do you understand what I mean by that?

... After that, I am perfectly content to leave.

That's...exceptionally poor timing.

The Federation is already engaged in battles against ZAFT, and opening yet another front to worry about is never a simple thing.
The question now is: what will the Chalice do in the meantime?
Reply
They're weird like that.

In fact, I fully count on the rescue attempt. The White Chalice is not staffed with people who would leave comrades behind, far from it!
